What is your prettiest knife?

My man! Love that knife.
 
That boker there definitely makes me feel better about the bolsters on my Case 6208 as you've had it about as long and the bolsters are in a similar condition.
Yes, it's a user work knife. I carry it to work in a slip in my bike bag. Then I try to not put anything in my pocket with it except something made of plastic etc. Still . . . it looks like that. At work I don't have time to fool with a slip and my hands are too dirty anyway. I use it and enjoy it for what it is.
 
Your'e out classed ?
The prettiest one I posted is a $70 factory second.
Well I felt the zt was two "tactical" to be pretty to be fair
and that kitchen knife was beautiful. It makes me want to start making more kitchen knives even more!
 
No arguments from me--it's even prettier in person. She's not just sexy, either; the elaborate three material handle is very comfy in hand, and the mirror-polished blade is 154cm wrapped around an S90V core. I own more expensive fixed blades, but none that are prettier. They were <$300 when they were around.

You have always had great taste in your choices. If I am jealous, you are doing great!
 
Today's pretty is the Wilson Combat Fox Extreme Lite Carry in cocobolo. Nice graining on the scales contrasting with the polish on the N690C blade. I'm a big fan of fluted grips in general and the WC Starburst pattern in particular. This one's a souvenir of a family trip to Barcelona a few years ago, bought at a beautiful old-school cutlery there--Ganiveteria Roca in the Placa del Pi. We also picked up a small front-flipper feather knife from Viper for my wife there. I'll have to get some pics of that little beauty to add here as well.

My Snakewood Mnandi with ladder Damascus blade is my purtiest knife.

I'm usually not the biggest fan of damascus, because often it's simply done for the sake of using damascus, without taking in to consideration the overall look of the knife. This one however is fantastic. That ladder pattern damascus was definitely the right choice to match the snakeskin wood. Wonderful.
 
Either my Halo V with bamboo + hamon, or a Half Face Blades Disaster Breacher with a CF/burl wood/resin handle and layered liners.
